River

Peace River

The Peace River in Florida offers diverse fishing opportunities, with both freshwater and saltwater species found throughout its 100-mile stretch from Lake Hancock to Charlotte Harbor. Anglers can target popular freshwater species like largemouth bass, bream (bluegill, redear sunfish, spotted sunfish), and catfish, while the lower, tidally-influenced sections also hold saltwater species such as snook, redfish, and tarpon. The river is known for its scenic beauty and relatively low fishing pressure, providing a chance to experience "Old Florida."
